Luke has really been doing well the last 2 weeks. His incision is healing well and he is done taking the steroid medication that was controlling his brain swelling. He is slowing working his way back to normal. There are some days where he has headaches and yesterday was a day where he vomited at least 10 times throughout the day. This was obviously worrisome because he couldn't eat anything the entire day without throwing it all up and we thought this was another set back. However, he bounced back the next day with none of those symptoms.
Luke is a truly remarkable kid how he takes these things and shrugs it off. A 5 year old that can manage his way to the toilet, vomit for 5 minutes, wipe himself off and walk back to finish watching his cartoons like nothing ever happenened.
As he heals, we've noticed a change in his behavior and patience. He will spend hours now using his mind rather than his body by building lego models reading directions and building objects completely by himself. I witnessed him spend 2.5 hours non-stop building a 450-piece Lego Star Wars X-wing fighter. The first 60 min was entirely Luke reading the visual instructions, finding the correct piece out of 400+ pieces and placing it in exactly the right spot. His favorite helper is our neighbor Julie Mills.
